Count 'Bility Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 RB Brandon Jackson That's who I was trying to think of earlier, I knew we had a better running back to choose from, and dont forget, Buckhalter and Alexander were seniors in 2000 along with Vandenbosch, so they should be mentioned a bit too.

mitch7 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I think you should be able to pick two QB's, an option and west coast offense QB. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I definitely wouldn't be running the option. That's all well and good, but here in the real world we ran the option and Eric Crouch won the Heisman Trophy. If he isn't your QB than I am going to have trouble taking anything you say seriously, ever. Quote Link to comment

kansas husker Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I think you should be able to pick two QB's, an option and west coast offense QB. I'm not sure how strict the rules I think you can pick has many as you want. Although it would be less fun Quote Link to comment

billdozer15 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Kinda going along with this thread who does everyone think was the best Husker to put on the uniform this decade? I think it is between Crouch and Suh and i am going to have to go with Crouch for the simple fact that he won the Heisman. But Suh is right there. Quote Link to comment

I think it is between Crouch and Suh and i am going to have to go with Crouch for the simple fact that he won the Heisman. But Suh is right there. Really? If this year taught us anything, it taught us that the Heisman is perhaps the most flawed thing in all of college football. I wouldn't use the Heisman as a barometer for anything pertaining to "greatness." It's a mess. In a debate between Crouch and Suh, I ask when would I see the next Eric Crouch, or the next Ndamukong Suh? I think we see an Eric Crouch every couple of years or so. I think we see a Suh every generation or so. I'd go with Suh. Quote Link to comment

Not sure if any of you watch The Office but a couple weeks ago Jim tricks Dwight showing the office who would win if Dwight fights Dwight. Not sure if I want to take on this debate. By the way, the office has not been that great for a couple seasons now.... Quote Link to comment

I agree it's gone downhill for a while, but I think Dwight's campaign to eliminate Jim will kick it back up a notch. They lost a lot of steam when Jim & Pam hooked up, then got married. The pregnancy thing is not looking promising, either. Quote Link to comment

But i feel both of them are so close that i gave the benefit of the doubt to Crouch because of the Heisman. I think both did tremendous things for our team. If you take either of them off of the teams they were on where would we have been? They both meant a tremendous amount. Crouch was an amazing athlete as is Suh, but everytime Crouch stepped on the field we had an opportunity to score at any point the guy was a huge homerun threat (see the run agianst Missouri, or that one where he dumptrucked that Iowa guy) Quote Link to comment

I was one of the few people who felt he truly deserved it that year. He's taken a lot of flak in subsequent years about that Heisman, and I think a lot of it has to do with his failure in the NFL, which is stupid and unfair. Like you said, Crouch was a threat to take it to the house on every play. Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 On the Crouch vs. Ganz debate, it's really difficult to chose one over the other until you establish what type of offense this hypothetical team would run. So I think we need to pick the coaching staff before we pick who the QB should be. My picks: HC: B. Pelini OC: Watson DC: C. Pelini I wonder if I'll get flamed for that, but I'll take Watson over Cally, Norvell, Cotton, or Solich. I'd take Turner Gill above all of them, but as he was never the OC i'm not sure if I can do that. Given Watson or Gill, I'll take Crouch as the QB. If you wanted Cally as OC (which really isn't that bad of a choice if you ignore your bias against him), you'd probably have to take Ganz as Cally would completely ignore Crouch's strengths and call plays that didn't fit him.

knapplc Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 If we're running an Option offense the conversation begins and ends with Crouch. If it's a "traditional" offense, I'd strongly consider Zac Taylor over Joey Ganz. Zac is one of my favorite Huskers ever, and tough as nails. Imagine that guy on a decent team with Bo's defense. That's a solid team, that is. Quote Link to comment
